philheybrookbay 439 Posted August 12, 2018 Gyms. Having stopped smoking (again) and in a vain attempt to stop inhaling chocolate as substitute- I joined local gym. I hate it. Mind you I must be the only person exercising this morning listening to the Archers Ominbus ☺️ 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The person who got to the bar before you gets served before you and the person next after you.... you need to see who that actually is. Although the short answer was; drunk people are less patient.

charon 4,943 Posted August 19, 2018 No it isn't. You missed the part of 'respectfully'. Doesn't matter. Smart cuntos sit at the bar, tip the Aussie barmaids and get served first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cat O'Falk 3,290 Posted August 19, 2018 One of the nightclubs I worked at used handled beer mugs and multi-tap beer pumps enabling one person to pull three beers at one time. If there were three people at the bar all wanting a beer each, I served 'em all at the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,466 Posted August 19, 2018 I found walking up to the bar and going "Aright Tommy (or whoever it was, know your barman imo), how's it going?", quick small talk, served usual, tip... worked quite well. Apart from the time some cunt tried to stab me for doing that, of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely the right pub - best beer and live music for miles around - just bad timing, getting there just as the band was breaking and all the once-a-week boozers deciding they needed a refill, and they're all either 'first' or 'next'. ... drunk people are less patient - ain't that the truth!

Clorox Bleachman 2,423 Posted August 22, 2018 Clickbait articles which have a sentence, then an ad, then a sentence, then an ad, then a sentence, then an ad - ad nauseam, that is. This one (UK areas which claim the most benefits) has 14 points with 92 adverts in between. "Number one will surprise you", no it fucking won't! Obviously it's in Merseyside, if you've ever taken calls for the DWP then you'll know that. There's no need for the article to have NINETY TWO ads before reaching that conclusion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
philheybrookbay 439 Posted August 22, 2018 A work colleague has gone vegan and gluten free. Shes not stopped saying ‘I’m gluten free’ and ‘Is it vegan’ at meal times. No it’s beef burger cooked in lard in a cheap bread roll love. Take your pick ..... 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TQR 14,395 Posted August 22, 2018 Yep, plenty of preachy vegans about and every last one of them gets right on the end of my cock. I've become a militant carnivore to counteract the atrocious fuckers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
